AP reports:

A man gunned down four of his in-laws during a morning church service Sunday, abducted his wife and then shot her to death before he was captured nearby, authorities said.

Church members wept as they watched investigators examine evidence and search for clues. Anthony Bell, 25, of Baton Rouge, was arrested at an apartment complex, where his wife was found dead, police said.

In other Louisiana news, Mayor Ray “Chocolate City” Nagin celebrates re-election. Some might call it another tragedy.

    Church Shooter Caught After Killing 5

    Come on, that’s unnecessary
    The guy in LA that opened fire in the church and murdered his wife, that’s unthinkable. Regardless of how much you hate Nagin, I think its bad taste to put that piece of information in the same ‘article’ and call it also a tragedy in light of the first part.
    I think this was a bad decision

    We don’t make the news, we just cover it.

    Nagin’s election victory and this horrible crime were LA’s top news headlines yesterday.

    Both of them represent tragedies on different levels. A lot of people died on Nagin’s watch, but he’s just not held responsible.
